How to fit 8 people into a two-seater golf cart:

1. Dad driving
2. 2 year old twin on Dad's lap
3. Grandma in the middle
4. Infant on Grandma's lap
5. Mom in passenger seat
6. 2 year old twin on Mom's lap
7. 7 year old pretending to be a golf bag and strapped in
8. 4 year old on a box pretending to be a golf bag

I've seen stupid and I've seen dumb but this, I think, is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

And, yes, I stopped them and took Grandma, infant and 4 year old with me so that 7 year old could sit up front with Mom and Dad.

Were they practicing for the phone booth record??

Only 8? My golf cart can carry 10 passengers!

Good Job Redwitch, you just saved the Sun from reporting a horrible accident involving a golf cart .

[Bill-n-Brillo]

I'll bet that poor golf cart was screaming in pain!!!

Good on you for helping them out, red!

I doubt they quit doing it because one good hearted soul showed them some common sense. They probably now ride with "only" 6 on the cart instead of 8.

If I see this I'm calling the cops. The thought of seeing an innocent child ejected and thrown onto the pavement under the wheels of an oncoming landscaping truck & trailer is something I never want to witness.

1. good thing from red
2, bad thing from 'i lovetv'

Great job Redwitch. You handled this perfectly showing compassion and guts. Calling the cops wouldn't accomplish a thing unless there was an officer very close by.

Welcome to TOTV. We need more humor here.

Was the golf cart actually able to MOVE with that many on board?

Sadly, yes. I'd guess total weight was about the same as two very heavyset golfers. Our carts are really little workhorses. Amazing what all they can do for us.

BTW, I was ready to call the police on this one but my phone was dead. Seeing the little girl on a box that moved as the cart was being driven scared me to no end. As I said, I took the grandmother home in my cart. I was so angry I honestly couldn't talk to her. What is wrong with people that they would even think this was remotely okay?

Oh, and how do you get ten to a cart? Nine on the floor on the passenger side, but where does #10 go? We could make this a new contest for the Polo Grounds -- golf cart stuffing.

How about a very small one strapped on the roof?

[paulandjean]

They probably got the message.

[graciegirl]

Red. It was good what you did.Not at all surprising. You are a good person.

Don't you wonder why they couldn't see it was dangerous to their very precious cargo to take them around like that? And don't you wonder if they couldn't afford a rental....but then why didn't they take the overflow in the car?

There are all degrees of "accidents". Many can be avoided by a little planning.

I sound like an old biddy.
